We hope she makes a speedy recovery!

Bethanie Mattek-Sands endured one of the most agonising injuries ever seen at Wimbledon. The 32-year old is currently in hospital after her knee buckled as she approached net in her second round clash with Sorana Cirstea on Court 17 earlier this week.

While her knee buckling wasn’t as graphic as some injuries you might have seen on the soccer pitch, it’s the agony that followed that makes this so painful to watch.

She was left screaming in pain: “Please, help me, please, please” in scenes so distressing that TV cameras panned away from the stricken star.

Romanian player Cirstea was visibly upset by the incident and said Mattek-Sands’ knee was “out… and in a very weird position”.

“I freaked out. I have never seen such an injury before, the knee was really in a bad position. It was like something you see only in the movies,” said Cirstea.

“I tried to comfort her but I panicked. I felt useless. All she kept saying was ‘Sorana, help me, help me.”

It took the medical crew quite some time to get to Mattek-Sands and some concerns have been raised about it. The American is expected to update fans on her condition on Saturday.
